The House Ministry Team’s expertise is always guaranteed and this incredible project showcases just how truly exceptional they are.
This exquisite interiors shoot in Cheltenham’s Montpellier district saw a dated and disjointed Regency apartment reimagined into a cohesive, timeless open-plan space.
As well as photographing the finished spaces, I also worked with the team to mimic their ‘before’ shots with ‘after’ images.
This meant that we could compare the two side by side.
This really showed the incredible transformation of these spaces and the impact of the redesigned apartment as a whole.
Lighting was critical for this interiors shoot as the apartment whilst large and airy had a really subtle and soft colour palette that needed not to be overwhelmed.
I worked with the available light and added pops of bounced infill lighting.
This technique ensured that the colours retained their gentle, understated, luxury textures and tones.
“Nikki’s understanding of our brand and vision is unparalleled, and this allows her to capture not just the feel of a space but also the intricate details that make each project unique.”
What began as a brief for just two rooms quickly evolved into a full apartment renovation.
The House Ministry Team really took the time to truly understand the needs of their client, their lifestyle, and their aspirations.
A thoughtful re-design to enhance flow, maximise natural light, and bring a fresh, modern feel to the space was key.
One of the core changes was the challenge of redesigning the interior layout from one with a windowless kitchen to one with a sense of connection between the kitchen, living, and dining areas.
This would ensure it felt open and integrated rather than enclosed.
The result is the perfect cohesive and light-filled home that perfectly balances practicality with refined design.
Some exquisite images to share with you in this blog including some before vs after combos. The changes are truly spectacular!
A: “Nikki has a deep understanding of our brand and vision, capturing not just entire spaces but the finest interior details.
She’s able to showcase quality craftmanship – with Nikki behind the lens, no intricate element goes unnoticed!
We’ve worked with her for many years, always bringing her creativity and professionalism to each and every shoot.”
“Nikki’s ability to frame both the large-scale changes and the finer craftsmanship details with such precision and artistry is consistently impressive.”
A: “When we received the photos back from Nikki, we could compare these against our ‘before’ shots.
It was a true reflection of just how much had been achieved.
At times, the transformation was so dramatic that even Nikki had to ask where certain shots from our reference list had been taken from!
“Nikki’s ability to capture the essence of a space is always impressive, and we deeply appreciate her initiative and creativity in framing details we might not have considered. The results are nothing short of stunning.”
“It’s been a pleasure to work with Nikki on numerous projects over the years, and each time, she brings an exceptional level of creativity and professionalism to every shoot.”
A: “We still had some final styling to complete, but Nikki was more than happy to focus on another finished area in the meantime.
She was incredibly helpful, offering suggestions and using her expertise to ensure everything looked its best on camera.”
A: “We wanted Nikki to capture some key ‘after’ photos which would replicate our ‘before’ photos that we had taken ourselves right at the beginning of the project. Everyone loves a before/after comparison so having these ‘after’ shots from Nikki will truly help tell the story of the project.
To ensure accuracy, we provided Nikki with a reference list of our ‘before’ photos, allowing her to replicate each shot as closely as possible—no small task given the structural alterations, from removed walls to newly added stud partitions.
At times, even Nikki herself had to ask where certain photos had been taken from!”
“For our recent project in Cheltenham, a Regency apartment that we reimagined into a cohesive, open-plan home, Nikki’s contribution was invaluable.”
“Nikki’s keen eye for detail and her creativity in capturing moments we might not have thought of made all the difference. The final images are stunning, and they perfectly encapsulated the essence of the space.”
“The results speak for themselves! We can’t wait to share the final photographs and look forward to working with Nikki again on another successful project.”
